HI Everyone, packaging, first impressions, lovely colour combination and great size - packaging obviously for soap swap - i personally like the cellophane bags, gives it handmade/homemade 'feel'. I love everything homemade, u know just like Grandma's. The green is fab too. Before using/shower smell, yum, fresh, reminds me of chewing gum and those spearmint leaves lollies. My friend who I showed said, chewing gum straight away. It gives it a sense of fun. The swirl is perfectly fine Louise, you should be very pleased if that is your first attempt! shower Great no surprises really, lathered well, felt great - smell not long lingering but certainly a nice scent a happening in the shower. most favourite thing This bar delivered - simple clean and honest Thanks Louise Questions what kind of dye did/do you use did you scent the whole mix first and then halved and then coloured scented half, or do you only scent the green? would you do anything differently next time? if so what? Regards, mary
